Pinova Capital has acquired Germany-based AdzLocal, a provider of online marketing services for German regional businesses.
Managing partners Marina Beyer and Dietrich Wedegärtner are reinvesting in the company as part of the buyout.
Pinova is deploying equity via Pinova Capital Fund II, which held a final close in January 2017 on €180m. The fund makes investments of €10-25m, with up to €50m available with co-investments, targeting technology-backed SMEs in the DACH region. Pinova invests in companies with revenues of €10-75m.
Joern Pelzer, founding partner at Pinova, told Unquote in March 2021 that the GP expected to make two further deals from Pinova II before launching its next fund.
